it seems like everyone is excited about all the new places to visit and all the new things to do ever since the Federation of Windurst opened the port in Maura allowing adventurers to visit "the silent empire", the Empire of Aht Urhgan.

on the ship to new world!
I'm particularly excited about the new job, puppetmaster, and my awesome aotomaton's name is Mao!

big old Galka wouldn't hurry up and work on Mao...
so far I've discovered that PUP is very strong. I was in a few horrible PTs when I was leveling in dunes, there were countless times when my entire PT got wiped out, except Mao and I, both with 80+% HP. when things looked bad, all I needed to do was to switch on Earth Maneuver (Stoneskin) and Mao would just tank and we quickly beat the mob that has just defeated everyone else.
PT members started to give us weird looks after a while though... but hey what can I do? they were (Too weak), and Mao doesn't even have the tank frame!

I'm currently gathering materials needed to upgrade Mao to the ranger frame, and thanks to Stru, Tee, Wai, Nor, & Sy, I got a piece of Karakul skin! now I just gotta bug Shoyapkyuyapkyu to turn that into leather for me, and I'll have one of the pieces needed to build the ranger frame.
still no luck on the Karakul cloth tho... ; ; the clothcraft guild shop is so heavily camped, and the thread is always sold out the moment the shop is opened. I have camped it many times now and so far no dice. ; ; and the bad news is, I need 3 of them in order to make 1 cloth!!!
/faint
anyway... Taroh and I were just taking a walk in the new town, talking to random people, and guess who we saw!?!? an imposter!

this lady doesn't even look remotely as cute as our beloved taru and she dares to call herself Wai!!!
some people these days... /sigh
alrighty guys... gotta go oil up Mao's gears now, I thought I heard some weird clicking sound last time when he was poking some pugil's eyes...
BYE BYE! ^^
